Yes... To make a generative model that can outperform humans in a social setting? I think it is technically feasible to do basic sentiment analysis, but the generative model... sorry, I think that NLP tech is just not there yet. On the other hand, I think it is a good idea to have a sentiment analysis system in place that advices users on overly negative sentiment in their comments or e-mails. I wish there was one already integrated into YC comments and into Gmail. Potentially can make life quite a bit nicer actually. P.S. like your wording 'automated soothsayer'. Funny that the next logical step would be wasting money on 'automated soothslayers' ;)
